by Chen Reis, Sarah R. Meyer
Little is known about the prevalence and dynamics of femicide, a persistent form of violence against women and girls, due to challenges associated with its documentation. Research by Abrahams and colleagues comparing rates of femicide in South Africa over 18 years, however, suggests that femicide is preventable.
In this Perspective, Chen Reis and Sarah Meyer discuss the incidence and dynamics of femicide globally and highlight the urgent need for better data and documentation to enact policies aimed at prevention, early detection, and timely intervention in cases of femicide.
